Event
Exposing the Lies and Secrets of the Nuclear Era
This event is free, but registration is required.
In cooperation with the Outrider Foundation, the Nobel Peace Center invites to a unique film preview and conversation with Paul Jay about his work with the new documentary film about Daniel Ellsberg, the Pentagon Paper whistleblower and author of “Doomsday Machine”.
The documentary “How to Stop Nuclear War” is based on conversations Paul Jay had with Ellsberg before he passed away in 2023. Narrated by Emma Thompson, the documentary is planned to premiere in theatres in the fall of 2026.
Wednesday 9 April Paul Jay is visiting the Nobel Peace Center to present an extended version of the trailer, followed by a conversation with Robert K. Elder, President & CEO of the Outrider Foundation. After his visit to Oslo, he will present the same version of the film at the Journalism Festival in Perugia.
The film, and the conversation, will give unique insights into contemporary nuclear dangers, including the emerging threat of AI-enabled weapons systems in a launch-on-warning environment. Most critically, it outlines practical steps to help prevent nuclear catastrophe.
The documentary and the talk will be in English and will also be possible to follow via livestream.
About the film
Nuclear war looms larger today than at any point since the Cold War's darkest hours. "How to Stop a Nuclear War" examines how nuclear conflict could erupt through either deliberate escalation or fatal miscalculation—and charts a path toward reducing this existential threat.
Through Ellsberg's unique perspective and insights from leading experts, the documentary explores contemporary nuclear dangers, including the emerging threat of AI-enabled weapons systems in a launch-on-warning environment. Most critically, it outlines practical steps to help prevent nuclear catastrophe.
Made with the support of the Alfred Kobacker & Elizabeth Trimbach Fund.
